I have a local Recycling Center that is awesome. Granted, it is on the other side of town, but since we don’t have curbside recycling in our area, it’s a trip I consider well worth it. And my Recycling Center has a couple extra additional cool features. They have free mulch and dirt for your gardening needs which is great. Also, they have an area where people can drop off small items for other people to take as they wish. Items include books (they have lots of books, about 8 full tall bookshelves), newer magazines, vases, puzzles, games, little knick-knacks and miscellaneous like that. I try and take at least one item like this every time I go, I feel like it’s more of a swap that way and someone else gets something they want! When I go to the recycling center, I never know what I’m going to find.

Anyway, my find today just made my day! It was a board game called “221B Baker Street” (I also found a fun book on astrology I couldn’t resist bringing home). I used to have this game years ago and love to play this with one of my favorite people, my Aunt Jeannie! She is the master of all games and always creamed me at every game we ever played, but this was the one game I actually had a chance to win on occasion. LOL So, lots of great times with playing games when I was younger and it brought back a flood of great memories. I played board games when I was a kid with friends all the time and my parents always made time to play too (my dad could bring me to tears with the game “Risk” when I was a kid). It made me remember the days before the internet and all the technology that’s available to us today. A great trip down memory lane. Thanks Recycling Center!

Well, I’m off for the day to spend some time with my guy’s family, but I’ll be back later today to post some more goodies. Have a good day all!

1). I am left-handed and the whole word is backwards LOL

2). I am a huge tennis fan! I watch tennis like people watch their favorite football teams. I’ve been known to scream & yell at the tv when a really good match is going. And heaven forbid you walk in front of the tv while the ball is in play. LOL And yes, I admit it, I cried (happy tears) when Roger Federer won the French Open this year.

3). And #2 brings me to this one, I cry very easily about something on tv, but I always try to hide it. Of course, my guy always knows-after all we’ve been together over 10 years now. I’m the biggest softie, I can’t make it through Extreme Home Makeover without at least a couple tears squeezing out. And those Nature programs when they show animals suffering, forget about it! I’m a blubbering mess! I’ve even been known to tear up at a sentimental commercial on tv. ROFL

Trident has a new campaign called “A Little Piece of Happy”. Their idea is to show people that even through tough times, chewing a piece of Trident gum is like experiencing “a little piece of happy”; reminding you that a little piece of happiness is always waiting, whenever you need it. I think this is a fabulous idea, who couldn’t use a little piece of happy nowadays!? Check out the funny clip above and click on the below to print a coupon.
